Frederick Carver : [waiter serves the wine for Ellen and Mr. Carver]  This is the happiest moment of my life! Waiter : I would taste it first, mate, if I was you.

Ellen Moore : ...they told me you were a wonderful surgeon. Frederick Carver : Well I suppose I am a cut above the rest.

Ellen Moore : I feel wonderful Mr Carver, I had no idea having one's appendix out could be so exhilarating. I feel ten years younger. Frederick Carver : Splendid! Splendid! Ellen Moore : Be honest now. Do I really look like a woman of forty? Frederick Carver : You really feel as young as that? Ellen Moore : No, that's what I am!

Miss Fosdick : Excuse me, sir! Frederick Carver : Miss Fosdick, don't keep plucking at me I'm not a chicken. Miss Fosdick : I'm sorry sir but you have an appointment at the Berkley Nursing home at eleven. Frederick Carver : It can wait. Miss Fosdick : It's to see Mrs Moore sir. Frederick Carver : and she... Oh that's different, rather wealthy private patient of mine, I took her appendix out the other day. Dr. Ernest Stoppidge : Well I hope you both had a nice time. Frederick Carver : I'll make the jokes thank you, Stoppidge.

Frederick Carver : Ahh this is the new kidney case. Dr. Ernest Stoppidge : Yes Mr Bean. Frederick Carver : Ahh, Kidney Bean.

Dr. Ernest Stoppidge : ...there have been several incidents with nurses. Frederick Carver : Oh, come, come, Stoppidge, you know as well as I that all young Doctors indulge in a bit of jiggery pokery. Dr. Ernest Stoppidge : Sir, I do not object to jiggery but I take exception to pokery!
